  • Creating a Philanthropic Culture and Citizenry in China: Child and Youth Philanthropy
    School of International Studies Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences University of Technology Sydney Creating a Philanthropic Culture and Citizenry in China: Child and Youth Philanthropy Su Xuezhong Doctor of Philosophy in International Studies 2015 Certificate of Authorship/Originality I certify that the work in this thesis has not previously been submitted for a degree nor has it been submitted as part of requirements for a degree except as fully acknowledged within the text. I also certify that the thesis has been written by me. Any help that I have received in my research work and the preparation of the thesis itself has been acknowledged. In addition, I certify that all information sources and literature used are indicated in the thesis. Signature of Student Su Xuezhong 2015 i Abstract This thesis looks at efforts to create a philanthropic culture and citizenry in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) with a focus on education about philanthropy for young people. In this study philanthropy is defined as ‘the planned and structured giving of money, time, information, goods and services, and voice and influence, to improve the wellbeing of humanity and the community’ (‘Philanthropy’ n.d.). Efforts to teach children and youth about philanthropy are significant because of the relative newness of philanthropy as a concept in the PRC. Following the PRC’s founding in 1949 and the establishment of a socialist society, older forms of organized charity were eliminated from everyday life. Government-organized charities were established in the 1990s, but the Chinese government has only given policy support for the development of a domestic non-profit sector since the 1990s, and especially since the 2000s.
